The Hot Springs star. (Hot Spings [Hot Springs], Dakota [Dakota Territory, i.e. S.D.]) 1886-189?, 1887-11-18

sNay, know noe,"I answered; wherson
abe crossed to The lakeland side Of tie cave
Cooking toward the entrAnoel and bid the
something was painted with red pigment
the sculpture Of Tisno, King OF Kor. This
ment stu being Quite fro0h enouRhto chow
the form Of the letters.
IL, Junis, . priest Of the great Temple ot
Kcr. write this upon the rock In the year
four thousand eight hundred and three
from the founding Of Kor. Kor q fallen,
No more shall the mighty feast I'm her
walls. No moro shall she rule the world,
M her nAvte8 60 out to commerce with
the world. Kor u fallen! and her mighty
works, and all the cities Of Kor, and ali
the harbors that she built, and the canals
that she made, are for the wolf and the
owl and the wild swan, and the barbarian
who comes after. TwentyAnd-ave moons
ago did o cloud settle upon Kor. and the
hundred cities Of Kor, and out Of the cloud
came . pestilence that slew her people, old
and young, one with another, and spared
not. One with another they turned black
and died-the young and the old, the rich
and the poor, the man and the woman, the
prince and the slave. The pesttlence slew
and slew, and ceased not by day or by
night, and those who escaped from the
pestileuee were slain Of the famine. No
longer could the bodies Of the children Of
Kor be preserved according to the ancient
rites, because Of the number Of the dead;
therefore were they hurled into the great
pit beneath the cave, through the hole in
the cave. Then, at last, q remnant of this
the great people, the light Of the whole
world, went down to the coast and took
ship and sailed northward; and now am I,
the priest Junis, who write this, tho last
man left alive out Of this great city Of men,
but whether there be any yet left In the
other cities I know not. This do I write
in misery Of heart before I die, because
Kor the Imperial Is no moro, and because
there are none to worship In her temple,
and all her palaces are empty, and her
princes and her traders and her fair WON.
On have passed of the face Of the earth"
Igave o sigh Of establishment, the utter
desolation depicted in this rude scrawlwas
20 overpowering. It was terrible to think
Of this solitary survivor Of a mighty people
recording its fate before he, too, went
down into darkness. What must the old
nan have felt as, in CHASTITY terrifying sol.
itude. by the light Of one lamp feebly Il.
Illuminating a little space Of gloom, he in q
few brief lines daubed the history of his
nations death upon the cavern wall?
What a subject for the moralist, or the
painter, or, indeed, for any one who can
think!
